Yes. Agree with most of what you say. Also hope that you
can bring something to completion. Identifying that magic "slice"
of the problem, might be the tricky bit.

Have made my own lame attempts at something like what
you are talking about. Rightly or wrongly they all ended up
involving state-machine technology. Couldn't deal with the
inherent async nature of GUIs without it. Has this been
considered? It is to be specifically avoided?

Good luck.
